Early conclusion! The case of anambra state can only be attributed to good leadership! True or Holy Federalism can only work with good leadership... if not the same leaders who still embezzle now will still embezzle more whether true or fake federalism! The problem with Nigerians is that we do not think at all. you cannot just transfer a textbook theory into reality. Every theory on earth is based on assumptions! one important assumption that every theory ignores is the Nigerian problem "Corruption" No matter the theory once the leaders are corrupt it becomes useless!

Corruption is never a problem but a symptom of a problem, it is not a bed of roses in anamabara state, I am from nnewi, thus state still has a very long way to go, True federalism is the answer, parasite like you.

Nomswag:
Lol...
luk who is talking about resources....... ukwuani has more oil than the south east combing together.

please be sensible, just take a look at his moniker, I am an igbo man, and they put me in nnewi.

jneutron4000:
Broda I disagree with you on this one, Ojukwu was a Nigerian military officer and also a POLITICIAN even before the civil war, assuming Ojukwu had the opportunity to be the head of state in Nigeria, do you think he would have called for Biafra? No he felt the Northerns are being parasitic and wanting to retain power that was why he fought. So basically, the Biafra war was a political conflict. So as the Yorubas now understand the political game even better than the North now so how are they now slaves?? Because the leader of the Presidential party Apc Na Tinubu so what are we talking about. Broda I don't tire for this argument self

No tire oh abeg, I no say e no easy to manufacture lies, so

Yorubaa...go and get a life!

you get time for fools.

60xtr99r:
The same gala sellers that have bought all your father's properties and made you a perpetual tenant?

You don't need to worry about the welfare of Igbos and Easterners.

BTW, when did Yorubas begin caring for the Igbos that they so much detest?
If Yorubas, without hesitation, colluded with their Northern masters to almost annihilate the Igbos and Easterners just because they sought a separate existence in 1967-70 then Yorubas are simply playing to the gallery with their usual hypocrisy and double-faced mien.

Learn to channel your negative energies towards consolidating OduaArewanistan republic.

The same people they massacred during the pogrom before the cry for Biafra ever happened.

CecyAdrian:
This people are just confused and misguided. Let's see how it plays out at Ecowas court,

No you are the Almighty god so you are supreme and anybody whose view is different from yours is confused and misguided. Sorry for you.

Please NDA do not stop, do not get tired, keep on keeping on, blow up every damn pipe you can lay your hands on, don't hold back your hand from turning every thing into a smouldering heap, I rest my case.

lonelydora:
Kazeems most times have a wider knowledge than those Coscharis, Briscoe, CFAO boys. They learn by trial and error and sometimes miraculously get it (just pray they don't create another problem).

I wanted to help a mechanic get a job at Honda place. He told me he can't work there because if those guys are really good, they would have own their garage and not depending on one small monthly salary. That they are there because they can't compete with others by the roadside due to their lack of experience. I SOMETIMES THINK HE IS RIGHT.

Please, you don't know what you are saying. Can a kazeem read and interprete a live data from a scan tool? You shouldn't be learning to repair a car by trial and error, the error might end up being a costly one, may be a new ECM or replacing an automatic Tranny while the one in the car is perfectly OK, You learn by learning and research not by trial and error.

AlPeter:
Interesting. I think the FG should do a massive clear out of the creeks involving every arm of the NAF. Create a perimeter from land then slowly sweep inwards towrds the sea Mapping every nook and crannies while using the Navy and the airforce for surveillance

you played at the circus as cl**n hahahahahahshahahaha

very good

PassingShot:
Apart from the issue of local govt, all other points you raised are invalid.

The essence of federalism is to balance resources and by extension development amongst the federating states. Each state doesn't have to be independently viable.

Again, Nigeria is not matured for state police. One can only imagine what the corrupt state governors will do with control of such security organ.

I know you've not taken your time to read the piece but I bet you will learn one or two new things if you do.

Nonsense! You haters of humanity always point to this when ever restructuring is mooted, you are among those who feed fat from this yeye system that is good for small countries like Togo, First of all why do corrupt people always win in Nigeria? Ever after the genocide which government has not been tagged corrupt? is it not because they have nothing else to think of other then going to Abuja cap in hand every 30 or so days to collect money, which there are little or no checks and balances, if it were that they will use their brains to think inwards to make the state or region viable there will be no room for corruption, if in my village we need something and wee are paying taxes we will always make the rulers to be on their toes, to make sure they do their jobs, is it not in an idle mind that the devil operates? The standards and qualifications have been lowers so much that merit no longer counts, godfathers everywhere, because a professional will never stoop so low to be appointed, only quacks and impostors do that, and I am sure you are related to one of them.

nobilis:
Make proper researches before spewing trash.

No african tradition forbids homosexuality.

Of all the tribes and ethnicities in Africa, none forbade homosexuality.
The very first time that homosexuality was viewed as a sin in Africa was when the colonial masters came and imposed their laws on Africans.
Before that, there was no forbidding of homosexuality.

I am a full blooded Igbo man and in our culture it is considered Aru (abomination)

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
Osu ibo, we have heard you. But the fact still remains that all ibos must go back to iboland

The STFU when we talk about Biafra, BTW I have only spent 2 days and a few hours in the dirtiest city on earth.

IHEJIRIKAisBOKO:
You better tell all your yi.bo Governors to start building sufficient refugee camps for you. You are all going back to bi.afraud

no hang ya self abeg, almost all those great Biafrans there have properties in Biafra okay? Niggar arean, very unproductive set of people.

SuperS1Panther:
SW has the highest in flock of migrants from other regions.

SW will be better because the region will be able to develop at it's own exponential rate.

Funny, Which South West? if not for Lagos, look m8, Lagos has a large influx because of over centralization of the hell hole called Nigeria aka the zoo, if you let other regions developed their own regions with their OWN resources, technical knowhow, etc why should somebody in his senses go and live among his enemies because of jobs? Virtually all the IOC are based in Lagos, so what are we talking about?

IrradiatoR:
have u visited the NDA website to have made such comment
now, let me help you out:

by now you should know who the lazy ones are!
olodo!

insult your parents not me

Ikengawo:
[size=40pt]YORUBA NEWS[/size]

Pure Yirobba news my brother, These people are so lazy they can't even visit the NDA website for verification. Anything about NDA that is not on their site or twitter feed is false.

Tonnierichy:
@ least we ain't cowards. We not gonna run off like you did, or maybe like your family did
Its our country and we going to stay and fight for better days.

That na ya own palava. If I see your leg for some border

Tonnierichy:
Hehehe....that must sting.

It is because we are still Nigeria that we are called a giant of Africa

It is because of thesame reason we have the largest economy in Africa. What we need is a sincere and responsible government to bring the best out of our diversity

If we break today, we would all have the status of countries like Ghana, Togo et al

I don't live in Nigeria, I left that God forsaken country in 2006, and till now I don't dream of going back to stay, anybody that does not travel feels that his father's compound is the biggest, How can you be the largest economy in Africa but have one if the HIGHEST unemployment rate on the continent? You are the biggest on paper, your women popping kids out like rabbits is not greatness ok? Since 1960 you had your flag independence, you are still looking for responsible leaders, hahahahahahahaha, what a failed state.

Tonnierichy:
Lol
One Nigeria can never work if we have more people like you

I don't like certain tribes in Nugeria and th igbos top the list but I can't imagine being in a country without you all.

There is strength in our diversity if we can be united.

You hate somebody but still can't live without that person, what a paradox, what strength are you talking about? When you hate me and my people, just listen to yourself.

The only militant I know is Niger delta avengers, any other thing is just a figment of imagination.

facelessangel:
This is Google said about yorubas and igbos

hahahaha

irunooboo:
U should be ashamed of yourself. Lord luggard of blessed memory saw a potential in our diversity before merging us together. The igbos can't back out after enjoying the dividends of our unity for several decades. We may work on restructuring the country but no to biafra

sorry

Ezionye:
The death of the sister did not move you? She was killed because of religion or ethnicity, hatred or just pure wickedness which can happen anywhere not necessarily cos one resides in the north. Maybe the trader killed at Aba deserves ur pity after all he resided in his own town.

Killing is killing, and there was no reason for it whether it moved u or not.

the Hausa man in aba was killed because he killed somebody and karma paid him immediately.

Tonnierichy:
You still have to admit Igbo people have most investment outside their region.

And if igbos attempt to occupy only southwest, how will southwest accomodate them as plenty as they are

Many igbos even found themselves in the north having served there as a youth corper. After one year, they'll realise they could actually have a good living there and alas, they establish! So stop being myopic

That is the most useless lie I always hear when the topic is about Igbos, where, when and how is this insinuation true? Look, most investments owned by Igbos are in Igbo land, okay? Aku ruo n'ulo, amara onye nwe ya. I will never cry for any Igbo man or woman that is killed in northern Nigeria, some (many) Igbo people have died because of money, you are the one that is short sighted, one Nigeria can never work, you have forgotten about the people who said they will kill if any such thing happens again, and faced igbos, the Hausa man that was killed in aba killed somebody before being killed in return.

Tonnierichy:
Among how many other markets in the south east

How many igbos can the market accomodate

the onicha market is not the only market there, there are many other markets, in Anambara alone, let alone those in Imo and Abia states. BTW is it only in the north an Igbo man or woman can stay, at least in the whole if west Africa

winningwinner:
Adviser! Speaking as if you have something different kept for them there in the S/E!! Many of them are Federal workers transfered to these areas, while others work in the banks, some are soldiers, immigration, police, road safety, civil defence, as well as traders. Can you accommodate this number and feed them and make them comfortable when they heed your advice?
Nigeria has not divided in essence, even though the disparity is obvious. You can imagine how it will look like if only the Housas live in housaland, Igbos in igboland and Yorubas in yorubaland. We have not reached there yet, what we can do now is to tolerate one another, appreciate our differences and shun actions capable of creating disunity.

na Tory you dey yarn, not when they are blood thirsty bigots who would provoke you into doing or saying something out of anger, then they use it as an excuse to drink your blood, BTW did you even read what they said they will do?

Tonnierichy:
What is in South East to live on

Ibo people make their money outside south east and d@ won't stop.

Onicha has the largest market in Africa, BTW why must it be there in sunni land?

SuperS1Panther:
You want us to know that you are staying outside the country. We have heard you. Are you happy now, Mr. UK.

We are not as developed as other parts of the world, but we are still more developed than many parts of the world.

like Tripoli and kabul

jollymizzle:
There exists an inherent rivalry between our various tribes in this country, and because of that everybody is trying to get ahead of the next tribe,while you may have noticed the existence of divide And conquer,I'm surprised you are just noticing it.actually I think you are consciously aware but you deliberately pretend to just recently noticed it.its the way it has been after our independence,and while you would mischievously want to degrade it as being evil by giving it the name 'divide and conquer',the appropriate name for it is simply 'POLITICS'.During gej's administration, the south east and south south went into a alliance,this alliance sought to edge out the south west and to a large extent it worked.this alliance tho was ill fated needless and to the discerning minds portend disaster ,being that the administration of goodluck jonathan came about not because of the alliance of ss and se at the polls ,but by the support of virtually all parts of Nigeria.we the south west voted gej.there was absolutely no reason to scheme us out of things. We supported a son of the south south and we stood by him.Now after being schemed out.it was clear we needed to strategize and that we did and the result led to the defeat of goodluck jonathan at the polls and the present administration of buhari after the third time of trying.in essence the keyword is politics, and of course the SE is also playing its own politics by trying their best to attach themselves to the ss.its not about hate for a tribe,its about forming alliances,reaching out to further your course. One thing I have come to notice is the unwillingness of the igbo to reach out to two major tribes mainly the hausa/Fulani in the north and the Yoruba in the south west.but the truth is they will need at least one to enable them attain their political goals. The secession option the south east would like to claim as their joker is not viable. We all know that Nigeria would have broken up if it was meant to be and the south south people have made it clear that if secession would happen they would seek to have their own Niger Delta confederation. So let everybody play politics to further his cause,and of course it doesn't have to be politics of hate because you would never know who you might need as an ally on the future.I hope that answers your question.
We should play politics with maturity as our democracy often referred to as nascent has come of age
God bless federal republic of Nigeira.

south west DID NOT VOTE GEJ ANY TIME ANY ANYDAY

HungerBAD:
A Government of Accountability.

This shows that gone are the Era when the Country's wealth, was shared left and right like Candies. This is the definition of FISCAL DISCIPLINE, and in doing this the Government is cutting waste.

The APC Government is a working Government, not a Flamboyant one like the last one.

Meanwhile, President Buhari should make sure he puts his eyes on his Ministers, as i am sure one of them or their Aides is leaking this to the Press, to put pressure on him to release money to them or alternatively make the Government look bad.

President Buhari, continue your good work.

story

I won't blame them, I blame the Igbos that continue living there, the death of this sister did not move me because a fly that doesn't have an adviser end us up with the corpse in the grave. If you advise the ear but it refuses to listen, when the head is cut off, it will follow the head.
